        i only question rape accusations if they don't report it to the police. Either way, fake rape accusations ruin lives.

        The Onion is trying to shed light on the repulsiveness of victim shaming in these situations , not making rape jokes.

        mfw people don't realize rape jokes are not equal to rape, failing to apply the logic they use for violence jokes.

        You realize that means 92% of rape accusations are true, right? That's 92 claims out of every 100.

        yes, but the number is impossible to accurately obtain and some studies have gotten 40%

        Even if you go with that (unlikely) percentage, more women who say they were raped are telling the truth than lying.
